Live Poll: "Yeah, I'm Talking to You, Travis Bickle"

In one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history, Travis Bickle, portrayed by Robert De Niroin 'Taxi Driver', poses in front of a mirror, gun drawn, reciting, "You talkin' to me?" Which of these characters do you think would be naive, indignant, brazen, fed up, or crazy enough to be the most likely to answer Travis Bickle if he hadn't been talking to a mirror?

There are two spaces left so I'd like them to be good ones. 'Suggestions? I was thinking maybe Deadpool but I never saw either movie so I need some advice. : ) My other ideas, so far: Piscatella from "OITNB" and Aldo from 'Inglourious Basterds,'  I'd love to get some more women on the list, though (maybe the three women from the second half of 'Death Proof?')

If you have other suggestions, please feel free to let me know: perhaps you have one that should replace someone on the original list.

I like the images you used, for both the bravado shown by character, as well as, it invokes their matching iconic one-liners (ie Say hello to my little friend, Say my name, I'm funny how? Funny, like a clown?, I'm going to make him offer, he can't refuse, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk? etc.)

Just an idea, consider adding the equally great one-liner to the answer option as the response and alter the question a bit to reflect this. Which of these movie characters best answers Travis Bickle's seeming rhetorical question, You talkin' to me?  with an equally iconic quip of their own? Most the answer options would still apply, but a search of iconic movie one-liners might yield even more options to equal Travis Brickle.

@urbanemovies​ Hi Urb, I've decided that I'll do a Part Two to this poll since I have more characters than I can fit in one list. Thanks for so many good suggestions that I can use for a second list. Your suggestions also prompted me to think of a few more for a "Part Two." : )

Frank would probably answer: "Yes you dumb f***"
Anton Chigurh would probably answer: "You're a bit deaf, aren't you?"
Vito would probably answer: "Yes I'm talking to you"
Stewie would probably answer: "Yes you retarded" 
Forrest would probably answer: "Yess I am"
Walt  would probably answer: "No, I was just spitting words of my mouth to you"
Tommy DeVito  would probably answer: "What am I, a mirage? Of course i'm talking to you"

Hahahaha.

It seems that seventhar7 still has a profile on sprinkler but doesn't come up when I try to tag them. Hmmm.

Wow, I just found this one that somehow I never finished re-doing as an image poll, when I could swear I had. (It was originally a character poll back in 2014 until whenever it was that character polls were closed.)

Thank you, @urbanemovies  and @ACT_1,

for the suggestions. 

I think I'll do a Part Two to this poll since I have so many good suggestions and characters. 

I'm also open to other suggestions, of course.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll do a "Part 2" of this poll and use these characters for that list. : )

Inspired by Urb's suggestions:  

Bella from 'Poor Things' : )

Also:

Amon Goeth from 'Schindler's List' ? (although feels too irreverent to film & subject matter)

@dan_dassow​ This cracked me up, Dan. How very funny! Thanks for the laugh. : )

Oh and I'm pretty close to finishing this. I still have some practical work to do (adding the movie titles with links and putting all character names in bold) and then I'll just add one more character (or make this list just 25 and do a "Part Two" so I can add more characters total). I'm thinking it should be ready in just a few days. I'll mark the suggestion field as complete when I finish. Thanks for the reminder. I think I forgot about it for a while.

@dan_dassow​ Hi Dan, I think that this is ready, unless anyone notices any mistakes. I did a lot of proofreading and made several edits, though, to make everything uniform, so I think it's probably ok. I'm sorry it took so long. I'm so glad that it's finally done. : )

Yeah, it was really hard to decide, but I went with Alonzo from Training Day. I'd really like to see that exchange. :)

In case you missed it, Dan and I suggested some images for your movie:
